AVX2 __m256i (ymmword) variable byte shift.

[InfiniteLoop]

No. See reply #9.

I tested it. Setting LAA to disabled causes any allocation >= 2Gb to fail.

In the process I discovered 2 bugs in the way c++ works.
(1) For a pointer symbol P, which is identical to &P[0], the c++ doe something stupid and crashes unless the latter is used.
(2) 64-bit integers used for addresses and bytes. Absolute nightmare. 1024*1024*1024*2 equals 2 billion but I must be wrong apparently because the compiler says it equals 18 quadrillion and tries to allocate those bytes.

This is the fastest method to shift right by edx bytes.

Code: [Select]

LargeAddressAware does nothing anymore. Its a 32-bit thing.

No, it's a 64-bit thing, too:

LAA ON: The address is at 40003018h
LAA OFF: The address is at 403018h

Code: [Select]

include \Masm32\MasmBasic\Res\JBasic.inc ; OPT_64 1 ; for 32 bit, 1 for 64 bit assembly
_number dq 1234567890123456789
Init
  ifidn @Environ(oDebugL), </Largeaddressaware:NO>
Print "LAA OFF: "
  else
Print "LAA ON: "
  endif
  Inkey Str$("The address is at %xh\n", offset _number)
EndOfCode

OPT_DebugL /Largeaddressaware:NO  ; disable to get LAA ON
